The Power of One

I want to rise above. I want to run with horses. I want to fly with eagles and be in your Presence forever. I want to know that I didn't miss an opportunity and that I chose wisely I want my battles to be worth the struggle and the fight. I want to take the talents you Have given me and use them well with increase one thousand fold. I want to be the man You want me to be; strong and courageous, gentle and kind, humble but powerful Honest and upright. I want to do the right thing no matter the personal cost to myself or My pride. I want you to brag in heaven about your servant John. I want to make you Proud and put a smile on your face. You are my everything. You are the reason I draw Breath. I owe you a debt I cannot repay, but I will try out of humble gratitude to live a life That will bring you joy and, hopefully make you happy to have me as a son... and a Friend

I saw the great men fall and I saw the world fall with them
I saw them led astray and I saw all of us follow them
I heard their ears tickled with lies and I saw the sin in our eyes
I saw the darkness fall, I saw the evil rise
I stood in agreement with endless compromise

Is there no man brave enough to stand up to this darkness?
Is there no man who will deliver us from this pain?
Is there no man who'll risk it all and just fight back for once?
Does anyone want to go home? Are you tired of it all?
Does anyone even know how to get home at all?

So God heard our cry and he called the great men home
No thanks we're too busy, we'll do it on our own
On and on down the chain he went right down to the least of us
Until a young man heard his call and he stepped out from the crowd
I hear you calling me, will no man lead us home?
I will stand with you even if I stand alone.

So the crowd stood in awe as they watched the boy walk home alone
And his path was lit up like the morning sun
He smiled with dignity, but a tear swelled in his eye
Will I walk home alone and leave my friends to die?

One by one they followed him, two by two they come
Until thousands walked beside him, oh the power of one!
